Well, saw a nice concept of a micro-nation, being a large ship, added to the map. I thought about add very small islands to the map (max archipelago, similar to RL Açores/Azores). Creating a Delfian Archipelago somewhere on the Phoenix sea...still up for that, but then it hit me. I want to RP my subs exploring the seas, specially the arctics...but they do not exist in Taijitu, do they?
the real question is, can we add terrain to taijitu map? small archipelago or small island? Can we 'add' the north pole and south pole?
I'm currently trying to make the north pole map (funny looking, although most of the nations are stretched...), calling it the Hartik.
Is this possible?
*I'll post an image of the Hartik soon*
-
Is this (http://forum.taijitu.org/national-statistics/takasia-factbook/msg36223/#msg36223) close to the polar map you are referring?
-
yes, tbh i used that exact picture, but what i mean is that there is no ice gap, no piece of land on the pole, no nothing. Here's an unfinished map:
(http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/8300/hartikzb2.png)
If taking this example, basically what is pure white is ice gap at surface, would propose that people can access to this 'territory' freely, without having to own it. Like, people can RP stuff, maybe expeditions, can RP submarines making tests or surface tests. I think it's interesting having a north pole, if you consider making it an actual (free/disputed) territory it would be nice.
-
that would be cool. but then me might have to worry about it melting and the sea levels rise.
-
::) that should be anyone's concern, but this forum isn't European, if you know what i mean...
This map addon is just to make basis for more RPs, maybe you could dispute the Hartik, I'm planning testing submarines (Like Russia does) and make Taijitan Geographic Society expedition to North Pole...
:wb:
Would make a rule, both Hartik and Panthartik (funny?) cannot be owned by any player, they are just ice at surface, you can even navigate through, or under closer to the poles...
But anyway, i do not decide anything, I'm waiting for their Moderator or Oz's approval.
-
That'd be interesting. The polar region could be some mysterious region with some abnormal thing.
-
abnormal? no, just ice...abnormal, like would ice gap being an huge mother-space-ship that originated human beings?
-
Taijitu is in general warmer than Earth. Takasia has already has RPs navigating (actually commercial shipping) via the Polar Area during the summer months.
-
TGS could find "abnormal" animals in the Hartik, but no space ships or some people might go crazy...
-
Tak the Hartik 'borders' are totally navigable. To a more realistic RP, anyone touching the 'amost white' area should RP sea icing and sea melting.
Talmann, love the idea of the abnormal animals! I was joking about space-ships...
note, your Talstadt is named Schmidts, and big Oz is named Bochas. This is a military map, they use nicknames. Haven't found any good one for Takasians :p
-
Tak Scum...
just a idea.
and the abnormal human things... YOU STOLE THAT FROM ME!
-
Uhmmm >_>
1) St Oz already has a people that regularly live on the Ice Arctics such as the north pole called the Fre'zhi (had this since my beginnings)
2) I've already RPed abnormal creatures and different plants such as Zuavka, Duzhu, Pai'hulu, and those birds that stab through brains to get their prey.
3) The Ice connects to the Northern Coast of St Oz, You can't exactly freely go through it even in summer months.
4) Ozians have already had Arctic Submarines in use, The Idovk and the "Jumper" subs. that regularly travel under the arctic. That's the reason the entire Ozian navy is Mainly AEGIS Ice cutting cruisers and Submarines with only 2 Carriers in Service that can only cross through once or twice a year. 1 of them is currently stationed at Xyrael. The other in the seas of Ozia.
Anyway... Why would New Delfos want to travel all the way to the North pole and not the south pole?
-
same way, it's for exploration. So you mean they exist and are RPable. That's all i wanted to hear.

Cause I'm taking the South Pole ;D.
-
Delfos, you realize if you RP'd on the north pole, you'd be free to be attacked by Oz's Frezh'i. This would be interesting, as it could be conflict without declarations of war or large scale nuclear exchanges or mobilization of forces, or 80 million troops. At any rate, the South pole might be smarter, near SD, Elu Colony, and others.
-
never done any harm to big oz, although he did slaughtered delfians. But that's not my point in the Hartik or Panthartik.
-
Good idea, but I think we should also put it to a vote.
ALso, if you're going to do one pole, do the other as well?
-
I will try, but then i need Tak's globe, i can try to do it myself with photoshop...and yes i will do the Panthartik some day...
Do you agree with Hartik and Panthartik names?
-
good names.
-

Delfos, this wouldn't be the Ozian Government, this would be Nomadic Fre'zhi armed and dangerous. On the ice they are free of Ozian Laws when they go out a far way. Right now it's the warmer months and the Fre'zhi migrate to the ice with their duzhu which require extreme cold for their hibernation. Even then, Ozian Fre'zhi recruits in the Army train up there and do daily patrols around the ice to prepare them for arctic combat. Though most nomadic Fre'zhi only arm themselves with Bolt-Action IA-7 rifles. You find some who own an I-19 assault rifle. The Army factions of Fre'zhi would have have more of the I-19s but not as much. Fre'zhi have found the IA-7 to be the most effective weapon in the Ozian Arctic. Though the I-19 doesn't jam much in the arctic, the people find it to be too inaccurate for far away shots. The IA-7 doesn't jam and it can fire at long distances.
Even then, Ozians have been gaining water supremacy underneath the ice with Jumper Attack Subs (don't jump they just gained the name when it was a prototype and it went airborne out of the ice) and Idovk Submarines.
I'm just giving you the real truth Delfos, going into the north pole of Taijitu is suicide. Even if a nation like Xyrael, SD, Mor'os, or G-C sent an expedition, they would be taken out equally as you would be.
-
Didn't I go to the North Pole early in the history of Taijitu, but be stopped by you and later formed relations? I assumed I would have been able to when it was summer in Ozia, as you said in the thread.
-
well then we need a map of it, to know which areas are navigable. Plus no one knows where New Delfos' subs are, not even the president himself (very complex plot, haven't even exposed it yet :p)
-
I bring you...bureaucracy in it's purest (Or cloggiest, I guess) form, where even the head of state doesn't know where his submarines are.
-

Heh that's because you went from southern Ozia.
The joke is that Southern Ozians are too nice and accepting (blue eyes) and the northern Ozians are agressive.(Maroon Eyes)
-
my president doesn't care, they have orders not to engage in any way, although they have counter-aggression protocol. Most of them are exploring the depths, why would the president want to be bothered with it? Plus the naval force themselves have secret orders, i ain't going to expose the plot here. Stop trying to hit or insult me for anything. Your figure of president is a guy with allot of agents and body guards that has to know everything about anyone.
Oz shall you give me an hand on cartography of the Hartik and Panthartik or shall i give it a try? Nothing fancy, just the ice gaps and navigable areas

The Physical map will have ice Caps....
-
caps, gaps, whatever. nice to hear, when is it ready?
-
Irnotia has military bases and Prisons on the southern ice caps as well
-

Eh... long time ^_^
-
southern ice caps? you mean the Panthartik?
Oz, could you help then just making a draft of both poles?
